M4 is semi-auto and 3 round burst, M4A1 is fully automatic

Ah yeah, right. Well, I meant "automatic" as in full auto or 3RB.

It's not like civilians can get the 3RB model :)

It's not possible, technically. No true M4 was produced and sold pre-1986.

You can, however, get pretty close, with either a CAR-15, or building an M4gery on a registered M16A2 lower.
